Arnett - who plays GOB Bluth - clarified to Access Hollywood this week there is still hope Arrested Development will have life beyond the proposed movie that would follow the Netflix miniseries.

"I think that was something that came out the wrong way [from Netflix]," Arnett said. "For the last couple weeks, that's been kind of the story and now they've kind of come back to [say], 'No it's not exactly what [we meant]'."

Arnett continued: "It's kind of murky as to what they meant, but from what I understand, that's not true."

"We're still hoping to build to a movie and in a lot of ways... Getting the Bluth family on people's radar, in a kind of contemporary way, [is] so we can move forward with it as a movie," Howard explained.

Howard further commented: "It's not a happening thing, but it's something that is being discussed... Fans got the show back on the air. I'm hoping that the support will propel it on into the movie theatres as well.

"I think the show's always going to be defined by the fans. So, who knows what's possible."

The new season of Arrested Development will feature the entire original cast reuniting, along with appearances by guest stars Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, John Slattery, Conan O'Brien, Isla Fisher and Andy Richter.
